Abstract

APERADOR, WILLIAN; BAUTISTA, JORGE  and  VERA, ENRIQUE. MÖSSBAUER AND XRD ANALYSIS OF CORROSION PRODUCTS OF CARBONATED ALKALI-ACTIVATED SLAG REINFORCED CONCRETES. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2011, vol.78, n.170, pp.198-203. ISSN 0012-7353.

Steel bars embedded in an alkali-activated slag (AAS) concrete have been exposed (after curing for 28 days) to an accelerated carbonation chamber (3 % CO2, 65 % relative humidity (RH), and 25 ºC temperature) and to a laboratory environment (0.03 % CO2, 65 % RH, and 25 ºC). Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) was also tested for comparative purposes and exposed to identical experimental conditions. Corrosion products generated at the steel/concrete interface were characterized using Mössbauer spectrometry and the X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The main compounds were magnetite (Fe3O4), wuestite (FeO), and goethite (a-FeOOH). The morphology of corrosion products was analyzed using the scanning electron microscopy technique (SEM).

Keywords : carbonation; corrosion; magnetite; wuestite; alkali-activated cement; Portland cement; steel reinforcement.
